Anambra PDP Mourns Murder of State Legal Adviser, Barr. Jude Oguejiofor by Gunmen

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Anambra State is in mourning following the tragic death of its State Legal Adviser, Barr. Jude Oguejiofor, who was brutally murdered by unknown gunmen. The incident occurred last month during a routine visit to his hometown, Orsumoghu, where he was accompanied by his brother, a medical doctor, who was fortunately released unharmed.

Barr. Oguejiofor, a distinguished legal practitioner with over 15 years of experience, was among the recently announced 21-man Anambra PDP Caretaker Committee members. He was inaugurated on January 17, 2024, by the National Working Committee of the party.

Hailing from Orsumoghu in Ihiala Local Government Area, Barr. Oguejiofor had made significant contributions to the progress and development of his community and state. Recognized for his outstanding service, he was honored with the title of Ositadimma Orsumoghu.

The Anambra PDP expressed deep sorrow over the senseless act, questioning the motive behind the brutal attack on a man known for his positive contributions to society. The party called on the Governor of Anambra State, Charles Chukwuma Soludo, to urgently address the rising insecurity in the state, particularly in Ihiala LGA, using Barr. Jude Oguejiofor’s tragic death as a catalyst for decisive action.

In a directive, the Anambra PDP urged all 21 Local Government party offices to lower their flags in honor of the late Legal Adviser. The party, through its State Publicity Secretary, Promise Okongwu, also called on party members and the people of Anambra to include Barr. Oguejiofor’s grieving family in their daily prayers.

The untimely demise of Barr. Jude Oguejiofor underscores the pressing need for immediate and effective measures to combat the pervasive insecurity threatening the peace and well-being of Anambra State.
